Having been com­mit­ted to sci­en­ces and the engi­nee­ring before the reuni­fi­ca­tion of Ger­many, TU Dres­den now is a multi-disci­pline uni­ver­sity, also offe­ring huma­nities and social sci­en­ces as well as medi­cine.

Rese­arch Asso­ciate / PhD Stu­dent

The posi­tion is avail­able star­ting 1st June 2019, ent­ails 50% of the full­time wee­kly hours and is fixed-term until 31.05.2022. The period of employ­ment is gover­ned by the Fixed Term Rese­arch Con­tracts Act (Wis­sen­schafts­zeit­ver­trags­ge­setz - WissZeitVG). The posi­tion aims at obtai­ning fur­ther aca­de­mic qua­li­fi­ca­tion (e.g. PhD).

Require­ments:

uni­ver­sity degree (M.Sc.) in che­mi­stry, envi­ron­men­tal sci­ence or rela­ted disci­pli­nes; Excel­lent track record; labo­ra­tory expe­ri­ence (know­ledge of LC/MS or GC/MS); high moti­va­tion and inte­rest in sci­en­ti­fic work; excel­lent com­mand of Eng­lish (Ger­man would be an advan­tage).

What we of­fer:

Short pro­ject descrip­tion: The amount of che­mi­cals released into the envi­ron­ment grows at stag­ge­ring pace impac­ting water qua­lity, bio­di­ver­sity and sta­bi­lity of eco­sys­tems to an unfo­re­seen extent. Yet avai­la­bi­lity of data nee­ded for envi­ron­men­tal hazard assess­ment is remar­kably low. The pro­ject App­ly­ing che­mi­cal activity con­cept in che­mi­cal hazard assess­ment aims to re-design cur­rent tes­ting stra­te­gies to increase through­put and decrease sus­cep­ti­bi­lity to expe­ri­men­tal arte­facts by main­tai­ning con­stant sta­ble expo­sure and using exclu­si­vely taxo­no­mi­c­ally lower orga­nisms (water fleas). Simul­ta­ne­ously the infor­ma­tion out­put is enhan­ced by employ­ing che­mi­cal activity con­cept to pro­vide not only indi­ca­tors of toxi­city/bioac­cu­mu­la­tion but also infor­ma­tion on modes of action, trans­for­ma­tion pro­ducts and (a)bio­tic par­ti­tio­ning.

We offer the pos­si­bi­lity to con­duct top level inter­di­sci­pli­nary rese­arch, excel­lent labo­ra­tory faci­li­ties, to inter­na­tio­nal coope­ra­tion net­works, career sup­port and per­so­nal deve­lop­ment opti­ons.
